I've got two sticks of Arko winging their way to me.....should receive them in the post today. I will open and use one of them and if it doesn't work for me then I will offer the other one as a passaround. (We'll....as a freebie gift....I realise that using it as a passaround would be rather unhygienic, lol)

That's it..........just finishing my second stick of Arko nearly two years after my initial purchase. What should I try next folks?

If you're a fan of sticks, try Vie Long. It's rebranded old formula Lea. A great tallow and lanolin soap. Connaught sell them in pairs for a few quid.

Get an OSP, a P&B, or any number of great traditional soaps...

I love D R Harris Arlington, and Windsor. I love Tabac. Valobra is amazing, and Stirling from the states is gorgeous. Just go for something and enjoy it!

Gonna go retro and get a Palmolive stick.
(Just hope they haven't tried to 'improve' it by giving it a new modern day formula).

I've just returned to wet shaving and also wondering what next... Have Proraso Red and waiting for MWF and Gentlemen's Facecare Club Lime. That should keep me for a while, but curious as I am, I'm bound to pick up something on eBay, like some of the usual suspects - 1805, Jermyn St, or something Wholly Kaw or Barrister and Mann. I suppose I should try Tabac, Arko, Haslinger and Cella but I'd end up really overloaded.....

Hi, buy a puck of Saponificio varesino soap. They are truly outstanding and last ages.

Agree. Top quality soap, but 2/3 I've tried just don't agree with my skin.
Wickham and Barrister & Mann are my go to soaps.

Have got my eye on Proraso for sensitive skin (white tub). Im hoping that it's a soap but if it's a cream then so be it....i'll still use it.

Soaps are always very much YMMV, but it's the worst soap I've used. Provided no protection, and is the only soap to leave my sink chalky.
